Statement of Privacy Commissioner Raymund Enriquez Liboro on the Disclosure of Details Surrounding BuCor’s COVID-19 Cases

The Data Privacy Act is not a cloak for denying the public’s right to know.

High-profile inmates like Jaybee Sebastian had become public figures on account of their previous association with particular national issues in the past.

There is a justified public interest to release information like details surrounding the deaths from COVID-19 of these high-profile inmates, especially when the personal information being sought is linked to issues already on the minds of the public.
